He/him/his

Class of 2026

Hometown: Gainesville, GA

Major: Human Health

What has been your most impactful class?

Chem+. I was very worried coming into college with very little background knowledge in chemistry, but with the instruction and patience of Dr. Brathwait and his Chem+ program, I was able to understand and enjoy chemistry in a way I never thought I would.

On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

Literally anywhere on campus. I find it hard to study in the same place twice in a row so I have multiple spots all over campus that I rotate through to keep myself focused.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

EAT!! There are so many amazing restaurants near campus that are just a shuttle ride away.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Songfest - not just because my Hall won - because of the friendships and community that form over the course of practicing. It's a great way to get to know people on your floor and build community early.

I'm passionate about...

house plants! Musical Theatre Volunteering and Community Service ResLife
